Chapter 441: He who knows the current affairs is a hero
"I thought he was just a lowly slave, so I killed him. Who knew he could be the son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?"
"His death was just a mistake on my part. Who told him to be so ungrateful? The fact that I fell in love with him was a blessing he had earned in eight lifetimes. Unfortunately..."
Ji Xuan paused, her eyes cold: "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
"This incident was just an accident, you can't blame it all on me."
Ji Xuan looked calm and composed, as if what she was talking about was just an ordinary matter.
That arrogant and shameless attitude made Ji Yunfei so angry that he trembled all over.
"you……"
He stared at Ji Xuan in disbelief and anger. His chest heaved violently and his face looked ugly because of her shameless words.
"Second brother~"
Ye Changlin stepped forward to calm the agitated Ji Yunfei, staring at Ji Xuan with a sullen face.
"Your Highness, can you completely shirk this matter by saying that it was a mistake? You killed the son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Can you pretend that nothing happened by saying that it was an accident?"
Ji Xuan's cold eyes flashed with a cold light, and she snorted coldly: "Then what do you want?"
Ji Yunfei's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Since Your Highness has killed someone, she should be punished according to the law!"
"joke!"
Ji Xuan sneered, her eyes full of cruel contempt: "A mere son of a minister, do you think you are worthy of asking this princess to pay with her life?"
"Killing someone and paying with one's life is for ordinary people. I am the crown prince. Who dares to take my life?"
Ji Yunfei clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were fierce and angry, and he spoke harshly.
"Even if you are a princess, you cannot kill innocent people and ignore the law. Your Highness the Princess must give us an explanation for this matter!"
"Even if I have to appeal to His Majesty, I will seek justice for my nephew who died tragically!"
Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with violence, and she swung her sleeves in anger: "Mad men! This princess does not want to argue with you about this."
"Although I accidentally killed him, I didn't know his identity beforehand. Why do you blame me?"
"If you know what's best for you, stay at the border honestly. Since the old Duke Zhenguo has also made contributions to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, I won't bother with you. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ye Changlin was stunned and said with a gloomy face, "Are you threatening us, Your Highness?"
Ji Xuan said coldly: "This is not a threat, it is a wise man who knows the current situation."
You know, she is the crown princess. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty will be hers sooner or later. How dare you go against her?
Isn't this courting death?
If she is sensible, she will not treat them unfairly when she ascends the throne.
"What a man who knows the times is a hero!"
Ji Yunfei smiled sarcastically and turned his gaze to Di Ran and Ji Huashang with gloomy eyes.
"Your Highness Prince Rui, Prince Chen, you all heard it."
"Her Highness the Crown Princess murdered my son, the Duke of Zhenguo's son. The evidence is irrefutable, and Her Highness the Crown Princess has also admitted it. The two princes must make the decision for me!"
As he said this, he quickly knelt down in front of Di Ran and Ji Huashang. Seeing this, Ye Changlin beside him also pulled Ye Tianjiao to kneel down.
"Please, my Lords, redress our grievances!"
"This……"
Ji Huashang's face darkened and he frowned.
Seeing things develop like this, Ji Huashang was also a little surprised.
If it was an ordinary slave, it would be fine, but the dead person was from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and was the Duke of Zhenguo's most beloved grandson. This matter was not easy to handle.
Prefect Xue, who was sitting in the main seat, was also having a headache, and his forehead was covered with sweat due to nervousness.
On one side is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and on the other side is the princess of the current dynasty. It would be bad to offend either of them.
There were also two large Buddhas sitting next to them. If it were only the plaintiff and Her Royal Highness the Princess, she could still stand on Her Royal Highness the Princess' side and speak.
But now...
Alas, what should I do?
